Built in 1895-1897, this section of the elevated rapid transit system in Chicago was built to serve the various elevated rapid transit companies that served the city at the time, allowing for seamless operations and turnarounds within Downtown Chicago. The Loop is 1.79 miles (2.9 kilometers) long, and runs along Wabash Avenue, Lake Street, Wells Street, and Van Buren Street, enclosing the central part of Downtown Chicago, and carrying various lines of Chicago’s rapid transit system. When built, the loop served the South Side Elevated Railroad, the Lake Street Elevated Railroad, and the Metropolitan West Side Elevated Railroad, all of which had previously operated terminals at the edges of downtown. The Loop saw the arrival of the newly-established Northwestern Elevated Railroad in 1900, necessitating the removal of one of its original twelve stations, later consolidations in the 20th Century and early 21st Century reduced the number of stations along the loop to eight. The loop originally served most rapid transit services that traveled into the loop, being supplemented with the State Street Subway in 1943 and Dearborn Street Subway in 1951, reducing the strain on the loop, which struggled to meet increasing demand. Operations were further streamlined with the consolidation of the various private companies into the Chicago Transit Authority in 1947, and saw the reduction of redundant services, removal of downtown rapid transit terminals, and elimination of certain branches of the rapid transit system over the subsequent decade. Today, the Union Loop carries five of the eight rapid transit lines that are operated by the Chicago Transit Authority in Downtown Chicago, and is the most widely known portion of the city’s rapid transit system.

Shoot at the Loop 360 Bridge (The Pennybacker Bridge) about 20 min West of downtown Austin. One of the prettiest spots to shoot in all of Austin. I had to park my car on the side of the road and climb up some rocks to get this nice birds-eye view.

Now here's another caterpillar that enjoys the Rudbeckias. This is the camouflaged looper (Synchlora aerata), which has the habit of decorating itself with pieces of the plants it feeds on.

The far end of Loop Head peninsula is a strikingly remote spot, with a distinct “edge of the world” feel to it. A whitewashed lighthouse stands at the tip of the head, but there are no shops, no signposts—nothing but birds, wild flowers and the surf pounding against the cliffs.
The Loop stacking armchair is made from Aluminium and features Textilene seat and back with teak arm inserts, from Barlow Tyrie. Chair slings available in choice of four colours - white, charcoal, titanium and platinum.

"Its main visual feature is the enormous four-story "lantern" at the top of the building. This gives the building a visual point of difference, ensuring that it's not viewed as just another blue glass box."

Built in 1892-1897, this Beaux Arts-style building was designed by Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge to serve as the main central library for the Chicago Public Library, as well as the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) to serve as a meeting hall, and a Civil War GAR Memorial. The new library was built around the same time as the 1893 Columbian Exposition World’s Fair, and was part of the “City Beautiful” movement of civic and public works that arose out of the fair, intended to improve the lives of citizens through beautiful design and uplifting spaces, as well as grand civic architecture. The building contains four stories at the north end and five stories at the south end, standing 105 feet tall, with an exterior clad in blue Bedford Limestone and a granite base. It stands on the west side of Michigan Avenue, across from the northwest corner of Grant Park.
The building’s exterior features a base with small window openings, an arched entrance bay in the center of the Washington Street facade with a bronze trim surround and brass doors, a decorative coffered ceiling underneath the vaulted roof of the entrance, and a staircase with brass railings, and an entrance portico on the Randolph Street facade with fluted doric columns, square corner pilasters, brass doors with brass frames, a coffered ceiling with globe pendant light fixtures, an entablature with an architrave featuring reliefs depicting wreaths above each column, an ornamented cornice, and a rooftop stone railing. The middle portion of the facade features arched window bays separated by pilasters with medallions flanking the arches, above which the top portion of the facade features window bays above a band of stone belt coursing with greek key motif, with the windows being flanked by pilasters with decorative capitals, fluted engaged ionic columns, and an entablature with decorative sculptural reliefs that include lions heads, with the words “Chicago Public Library” on the north and south facades, and the words “Public Library of the City of Chicago Founded AD MDCCCLXXII (1872) Building Completed AD MDCCCXCV (1895). Above the architrave, the building features a cornice with dentils, egg and dart motif trim, and modillions, with the low-slope roof being enclosed by a parapet with open stone screens featuring a roman lattice motif. Inside, the building features several well-preserved historic spaces, with the Washington Street Lobby, or South Lobby, featuring a grand white Carrara marble staircase with green marble medallion trim, with a three-story vaulted space with white Carrara marble cladding on the walls, mosaics, and the Randolph Street Lobby, or North Lobby, featuring mahogany doors, a coffered ceiling, green Vermont marble cladding on the walls, a pink Tennessee marble staircase with decorative bronze railings, and decorative murals. Further inside the building are the Sidney R. Yates Gallery, which is a replica of an assembly hall inside the Doge’s Palace in Venice, which features decorative pilasters and a coffered ceiling, green marble wainscoting, and green marble trim surrounds at the doorways, the Grand Army of the Republic Memorial Hall, which features a rotunda stained glass dome by the firm of Healy and Millet, inspired by Renaissance-era stained glass art, with Tennessee pink marble wall cladding, bays containing windows and mahogany doors with decorative arched trim above, decorative plasterwork on the ceiling, brass sconce wall light fixtures, and a mosaic tile floor, and a main hall with Vermont green marble wall cladding, decorative coffered ceilings, and arched bays containing windows and doorways, and the Preston Bradley Hall, which features Carrara marble cladding on the walls, mosaics on the pendentives below the Jacob Adolphus Holzer-designed Tiffany glass dome, with stained glass chandeliers, arched and sconce wall fixtures, arched openings between the rotunda and the adjacent spaces, which feature coffered ceilings.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, and was designated a Chicago Landmark in 1976. The building is also a contributing structure in the Historic Michigan Boulevard District, listed as a Chicago Landmark in 2002. After serving as the Central Library of the Chicago Public Library for over 80 years, the building became home to the Chicago Cultural Center, the world’s first free municipal cultural centers, in 1977, under the direction of the Commissioner of Cultural Affairs, Lois Weisberg. A majority of the items formerly inside the library were placed into storage at this time, and a temporary central branch was opened in the nearby Mandel Building, with a lack of funding preventing the construction and completion of the building’s replacement, the Harold Washington Library, until 1991. The building today is managed by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, and hosts special events, formal receptions by the Mayor of Chicago, over a thousand programs and exhibitions every year, and serves as the headquarters of the Chicago Children’s Choir.

I'm quite happy burning flies.
I'm quite happy burning flies.
They went to fly a kite,
They took a case of beer,
They asked if I would come,
But I'll be alright here.
I'm quite happy burning flies.
I'm quite happy burning flies.
I don't need fancy things,
I don't watch much TV,
And while they fly the kite
Don't feel bad for me.
I'm quite happy burning flies.
I'm quite happy burning flies.
